These are too cute, and this last one has an interesting focus: the concept of "going viral."
Nancy Clancy Star of Stage and Screen
Jane O'Connor, illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser
ISBN: 9780062269645
Book 5 of the Nancy Clancy series
Read February 24, 2015
This book features the vocabulistically-enhanced grade-schooler first introduced in the picture book series Fancy Nancy. There is also a set of "leveled" readers that are also "Fancy Nancy" branded. Unlike both of those, these actual chapter books have her as a bit older, with more involved storylines, usually mysteries or minor school/home crises to solve, and a little higher-level vocabulary.
In this installment, Nancy is equal parts excited and nervous about her school's end of year program. The action is multi-part, with a friend suffering from a perfectionist nature, a school-wide cough descending and keeping kids from performing, and tensions with her little sister, termed rambunctious by parents, but simply naughty by Nancy. All comes together nicely in the end, with a plot-twist (telegraphed by a portentous dinnertime conversation earlier) that results in Nancy Clancy ending up on TV!
